Description

The deterioration of lubricating oil, degree of deterioration assay method and determinator thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to deterioration, the degree of deterioration assay method of lubricating oil; Relate to a kind ofly when measuring the deterioration of lubricating oil, rotten degree specifically, can predict deterioration, degree of deterioration assay method and the determinator thereof of the lubricating oil of deterioration, modification mechanism.
Background technology
The deterioration of lubricating oil, degree of deterioration all have very big influence to performance, permanance and the energy-efficient performance etc. of the machinery that uses this lubricating oil, device etc.In addition, the deterioration of lubricating oil, rate of deterioration have significant difference according to the service condition of lubricating oil.Therefore, need simply and exactly to measure deterioration, the status degenerativus of lubricating oil.
In the past; The deterioration of the lubricating oil of engine wet goods, the mensuration of degree of deterioration are had following method: through the service time with lubricating oil be the method for standard, perhaps measure the proterties (for example kinetic viscosity, insoluble matter, acid number, base number etc.) of lubricating oil and the method for judging according to this mensuration result.Yet these methods can not be simply and are measured deterioration, the degree of deterioration of lubricating oil exactly.
To the problems referred to above, in patent documentation 1 for example, disclose electric resistance sensor has been installed in oil pan, measure the method for life of lubricating oil through the changes in resistance of engine oil.In addition, disclose the pH sensor much is set in oil pan, measure the method for life of lubricating oil according to the variation of the pH value of the variation of the acidity, the basicity that are accompanied by oil.
These methods can often be confirmed the changes in resistance of lubricating oil or the variation of pH, and the moment that can reach value or the situation of regulation at the rate of change of resistance or pH is judged as and arrives tenure of use, considers it is a kind of simple method from this point.
But said resistance can not be measured the deterioration of lubricating oil, the situation of degree of deterioration exactly because of sneaking into the deterioration along with lubricating oil, rotten apolar substance breeze (carbon) change that produces, therefore existing.And, even said pH value representation deterioration, rotten degree, but it can not judge lubricating oil generation deterioration, deterioration reason (deterioration, modification mechanism).Therefore, to the deterioration of lubricating oil, rottenly manage this and have problems on the one hand.
In recent years, measure deterioration, the degree of deterioration of lubricating oil through the impedance of measuring lubricating oil, and find out that breeze sneaks into the influence of generation, these are studied always in propelling.
For example, in non-patent literature 1, be the impedance that the such extensive region of 20Hz~600kHz is measured lubricating oil, and the variation of sneaking into the impedance that breeze causes in gasoline or the diesel oil separately be discussed according to resistance (resistance components) and reactance (capacitive component) in frequency.But its result of study is not clearly illustrated the concentration of breeze in gasoline or the diesel oil and the relation of impedance.
Again; In patent documentation 2, disclose, measured the complex impedance of oil, the real part that it is reciprocal is obtained conductance as resistance components; The imaginary part of the inverse of complex impedance is obtained permittivity as capacitive component, according to the fuel-displaced deterioration of this conductance and permittivity check, rotten device.
Yet these patent documentation 2 described methods are difficult to measure deterioration, degree of deterioration exactly according to the measured value of permittivity, and are difficult to analyze lubricating oil deterioration, modification mechanism (worsening reason).
In addition, the device of non-patent literature 1 or patent documentation 2 disclosed mensuration impedances, it measures complicated circuit, makes device be costliness.

Embodiment
Being characterized as of the deterioration of lubricating oil of the present invention, degree of deterioration assay method measured the permittivity or the electric capacity of the lubricating oil under two above different frequencies, judges deterioration, the status degenerativus of lubricating oil according to the value of this permittivity or electric capacity.
When " deterioration of lubricating oil, the judgement of status degenerativus " of the present invention is meant the deterioration of measuring lubricating oil, rotten degree, infer modification mechanism (deterioration, rotten reason).Can predict the life-span of employed lubricating oil through both exactly, carry out suitable lubricating management.
Among the present invention,, measure the permittivity or the electric capacity of the lubricating oil under two above different frequencies as the deterioration of judging above-mentioned lubricating oil, the means of status degenerativus.
Again, above-mentioned " more than two " comprise the situation of " two " and the situation of " more than three ", and it measures the not restriction especially of the upper limit of number.That is, to frequency H 1, H 2H nUnder capacitor C 1, C 2C nMeasure, and obtain electric permittivity epsilon based on this 1, ε 2ε n
By capacitivity or the electric capacity of measuring two lubricating oil under the above different frequency, then can measure variation or the changes in capacitance of capacitivity ratio with respect to the variation of frequency, can predict deterioration, the status degenerativus of lubricating oil as described later.If frequencies different more than three is arranged, then can grasp the variation of variation or the changes in capacitance of permittivity more extensively, reliably with respect to frequency again.
Said frequency H different more than two 1, H 2H nIn at least one frequency (being generally minimum frequency) (H 1) be preferably in the scope of 1~100Hz.Its frequency (H 1) surpassing 100Hz, therefore the permittivity or the changes in capacitance amount and insufficient that change corresponding to the concentration of the deterioration of lubricating oil, the rotten polar material that generates can not distinguish deterioration, the status degenerativus of judging between the lubricating oil exactly.Therefore, frequency (H 1) be preferably in below the 80Hz, be more preferably below 60Hz.
Relative with it, frequency (H 1) not enough 1Hz, the permittivity of mensuration or the value of electric capacity are unstable, need spended time on the mensuration, and noise is also many, can not obtain the measured value of repeatability, so frequency (H 1) be preferably in more than the 5Hz, be more preferably more than 10Hz.
Again, at least one frequency (H in above-mentioned two above different frequencies 1) be preferably in the scope of 5~80Hz, be more preferably scope at 10~60Hz.
On the other hand, (H 1) in addition other frequency (H 2) more preferably greater than said (H 1), and 10, below the 000Hz.Frequency 10,000Hz surpasses, and the permittivity or the changes in capacitance amount that change corresponding to the concentration of the deterioration of lubricating oil, the rotten polar material that generates are abundant inadequately, therefore can not distinguish deterioration, the status degenerativus of judging between the lubricating oil exactly.(H 2) the preferred less than 10 of the upper limit of frequency, 000Hz is more preferably 1, below the 000Hz, further preferably below 500Hz, especially preferably below 200Hz.
Frequency (H when measuring the permittivity of three above different frequencies 3) ... (H n) scope to surpass (H 2) and 10, below the 000Hz, be more preferably 1, the scope below the 000Hz gets final product.
Among the present invention, judge deterioration, the status degenerativus of lubricating oil according to the value of the permittivity of two above different frequencies or electric capacity.
For example, be conceived to two, can as as follows, judge with two frequencies in the upper frequency.That is, obtain the frequency (H of frequency in 1~100Hz scope 1) under permittivity (ε 1) or electric capacity (C 1) and frequency 10, the zone below the 000Hz greater than said frequency (H 1) frequency (H 2) under permittivity (ε 2) or electric capacity (C 2), according to (ε 1), (C 1) perhaps (ε 2), (C 2) the variation of value and permittivity with respect to variation the ratio ((ε of frequency 12)/(H 2-H 1)) or changes in capacitance with respect to variation the ratio ((C of frequency 1-C 2)/(H 2-H 1)), deterioration, the status degenerativus of judgement lubricating oil.
As stated, the judgement of deterioration, status degenerativus is meant: judge deterioration, rotten degree, and prediction deterioration, modification mechanism (deterioration, rotten reason), but the judgement of deterioration, metamorphic grade is preferred usually according to (ε 1) perhaps (C 1) value carry out.This be because, usually, in the survey frequency under the minimum frequency permittivity or capacitance meter be shown maximal value, according to (ε 1) perhaps (C 1) judge can confirm exactly permittivity or electric capacity through the time change.But, according to circumstances, also can be (ε 2), (Y 2), can also be (ε 2) ... (ε n) or (C 3) ... (C n).
So, (ε 1) or (C 1) the value of permittivity, electric capacity big more, it is serious more to be judged as deterioration, metamorphic grade.This be because the value of permittivity or electric capacity corresponding to changing by the amount of the deterioration of lubricating oil, the rotten and polar material that generates and sneak into (mainly be oxidation, hot deterioration and the polar material that generates and sneak into the polar material in the lubricating oil).
According to from said frequencies (H 1) under permittivity (ε 1) or electric capacity (Y 1) value in deterioration, the degree of deterioration (deterioration, metamorphic grade) of the lubricating oil that obtains, the method for life of prediction lubricating oil is: (ε for example 1) or (Y 1) value moment of reaching the setting value that sets in the preliminary experiment be estimated as deterioration, rotten taken place, and the frequency (H of the lubricating oil that uses of extrapolation 1) under permittivity (ε 1) or electric capacity (Y 1) through the time change, the time that arrives said setting value is estimated as the remaining life-span, said setting value can be the setting value that the engine oil before and after the model engine test is measured.
Next, to describing based on the deterioration of the value prediction lubricating oil of permittivity under two above different frequencies or electric capacity, the method for modification mechanism (deterioration, rotten reason).
As based on the deterioration of the value prediction lubricating oil of the permittivity of two above different frequencies or electric capacity, the method for modification mechanism (deterioration, rotten reason), give an example based on judging the deterioration of lubricating oil, the method for status degenerativus with respect to the permittivity of frequency or the ratio of changes in capacitance (size).
Specifically, be conceived to the ratio ((ε of the variation of permittivity for example with respect to the variation of frequency 12)/(H 2H 1)) or changes in capacitance with respect to the ratio ((C of the variation of frequency 1-C 2)/(H 2-H 1)).
((ε 12)/(H 2-H 1)) or ((C 1-C 2)/(H 2-H 1)) compare under the situation of big a lot (comparing above 200% with normal conditions) with normal conditions; Infer for except the material that is produced by lubricating oil deterioration, the rotten polar material generation oxidative degradation that is produced, also sneaked into polar material (deterioration, status degenerativus I) owing to other reason generation.Such deterioration, modification mechanism are confirmed as and are used in petrolic petrol engine oil.
Relative with it, ((ε 12)/(H 2-H 1)) or ((C 1-C 2)/(H 2-H 1)) than normal conditions be not very big (normal conditions 200% in); But under the situation of oil body rising, form and aspect variation; Except the material that is produced by lubricating oil deterioration, the rotten polar material generation oxidative degradation that is produced, also sneaked into other apolar substance or low pole material (deterioration, status degenerativus II) by prediction.The deterioration that such deterioration, modification mechanism cause, rotten be considered to be used in the diesel engine oil in the diesel engine sneaked into breeze.In this case, need seek countermeasure, comprising adjusting in-engine fired state and improving breeze trap setting etc.
Again; Whether big the variation of permittivity or changes in capacitance are set and are got final product through carrying out preliminary experiment with respect to the ratio of the variation of frequency judgment standard, and this preliminary experiment compares for the calculated value to the engine oil before and after the test of different types of model engine.At this moment, in determinator, preferably include viscosity meter, form and aspect meter.
Thus, can judge deterioration, the modification mechanism of lubricating oil.Again, among the present invention,, the characteristic beyond said permittivity or the electric capacity is measured, also can be added these characteristics and judge deterioration, modification mechanism for deterioration, the modification mechanism of judging above-mentioned lubricating oil.
Next, the suitable determinator to mensuration permittivity of the present invention or electric capacity describes.
Fig. 3 is the concept map of an example of deterioration, the degree of deterioration determinator of the deterioration of expression lubricating oil of the present invention, lubricating oil that the degree of deterioration assay method is adopted.
The deterioration of this lubricating oil, degree of deterioration determinator comprise: pair of electrodes 1; With electric capacity determination part 2 with AC power 2a, electric capacity mensuration circuit 2b; This AC power 2a applies alternating voltage between this pair of electrodes; The frequency of this alternating voltage can be controlled at below the 100Hz; This electric capacity is measured circuit 2b and is measured the electric capacity between this pair of electrodes, and this determinator further comprises having the permittivity calculating portion 3 that permittivity is calculated circuit 3a, and this permittivity is calculated circuit 3a and calculated permittivity based on said electric capacity determination part 2 resulting C meters.

Mensuration voltage in the mensuration of above-mentioned electric capacity is preferably in 0.1~10V P-pScope.
The preferably interdigital array electrode of the pair of electrodes 1 of Fig. 3 is more preferably interdigital array microelectrode.As electric capacity determination part 2, permittivity calculating portion 3, can adopt LCR measuring instrument or C measuring instrument again.
So directly measure the capacitor C of lubricating oil, and obtain the method for electric permittivity epsilon according to the value of this capacitor C, its device is simple, therefore can low price, simply and accurately electric capacity, the permittivity of lubricating oil are measured, calculated.
Especially pair of electrodes 1; Use under the situation of interdigital array electrode; Can make extremely miniaturization of evaluating apparatus, only adopt micro-sample oil (lubricating oil) promptly can measure deterioration, the degree of deterioration of lubricating oil, simultaneously; Observe sample oil during mensuration easily, outward appearance (color etc.) or the smell oily from sample also can obtain deterioration, metamorphic grade or the deterioration about lubricating oil, the side information that modification mechanism is relevant.
Fig. 4 representes to be used for the concept map of other instances of deterioration, degree of deterioration determinator of lubricating oil of deterioration, the degree of deterioration assay method of the lubricating oil of embodiment of the present invention.
